Biobased materials are a transformative class of substances derived from renewable resources like plants, biomass, and agricultural byproducts. These materials offer a sustainable alternative to traditional, fossil fuel-based products, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources. Examples include bioplastics made from corn starch or sugarcane and bio-based polymers derived from natural sources. Biobased materials exhibit biodegradability and a lower carbon footprint, contributing to environmentally friendly practices. They find applications in diverse industries, from packaging and textiles to construction and automotive sectors. The production of biobased materials often involves processes that generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional manufacturing methods. The circular economy principles underpin the use of these materials, promoting a closed-loop system that minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency. Ongoing research continues to advance the properties and applications of biobased materials, driving innovation and sustainability in material science.
